Duffy Realty of Atlanta
The Worst Experiences
Duffy Realty of Atlanta was able to get my house on the MLS.
It was the inception of the lousy journey from there. The disclosure form was not completed correctly.
We checked, yes and non, on the same line.
After several messages asking for assistance, I attacked them on their Survey.
Duffy Realty Returned my call, and someone pretended to be there for me.
I submitted the disclosure form again and was surprised to find it had not been changed.
This information was provided by a Real Estate Agent, who received the disclosure form two weeks after I made changes.
The final straw was when the appraisal came in at $65K less than the asking price.
Which Duffy guided me to select.
Calling the Contracts Department was a huge mistake. I was told they would challenge the appraisal.
Gabe Long didn’t contact anyone, and the Contract expired. It was then terminated.
After they have charged me $500.00 not to sell my house, I now need to pay $60.00 to cancel the listing.
It was the most challenging experience of trying to sell your home.
She helped us through the financing process.
Caroline Gamma was very professional and helpful through all facets of the process. She went through what needed to be done to our house to place it for sale.
She arranged for us to see houses within the area of Cobb County that we were interested in moving to. She helped us through the financing process.
The fact that they charge less in commission is well worth it to me.
Duffy Realty is my agent at the moment. This is different from listing with an agent who works hard to sell your home. It is also not difficult. You will be satisfied if you clearly understand the process before you start.
Their commission is much lower than mine. Their processes can be understood if you understand email and your phone.
Duffy Realty is an excellent option if you want to sell your home independently and in a seller’s market. The traditional listing is recommended if the market is favorable and the house needs work.
Duffy will not work as hard as other agents to market/actively follow a buyer, but they charge less than other agents/brokers. Duffy can help you get on Zillow and Realtor as well as MLS and other sites, just like the rest of us.
Very responsive
Daniela Vargas from Duffy reality have taken us through all the homes we liked and submitted offers as needed. Very responsive, late working hours and extremely patient with the first time home buyers.
Our agent, Caroline was very knowledgeable.
Duffy Realty was very easy to work alongside when we purchased our home. Duffy Realty is our second time using them. They helped us sell our house the first time.
Duffy helps you to set expectations and guides you through the buying process.
Caroline, our agent, was extremely knowledgeable. Caroline was able to answer our questions and offer professional guidance. They work well together.
Vanessa, Caroline’s co-worker, made arrangements for Caroline to visit the houses she was interested in. We will choose Duffy Realty if we ever decide to move again.
The selling side is a bit more work for you, but worth it.
I would highly recomend Duffy Realty to anyone who is selling or buying a home. I used them for both and was able to save some $$. The selling side is a bit more work for you, but worth it.
As if finding the perfect house wasn't enough, The McCarty Team laid the entire closing process out for us.
Terri from DUFFY Realty, Atlanta, was our first contact. Our apartment lease was due to expire in two months, so we had decided to purchase a home. After much research, we decided to end the search and look for homes. Terri continued to guide us around new areas and help us settle in the neighborhoods we loved.
Terri was visiting another house in the same neighborhood and noticed that she was listed next to her. After a few phone calls, she allowed us to see it. She had a gut feeling that she found “the one.” Terri, you’re a great catch!
Allison Gunter, Jennifer McCarty, and other professionals provided a digital timeline to complete our tasks and assemble professionals for insurance, financing, and home inspection. The McCarty Team managed the entire closing process as if this wasn’t enough. It was well-organized, making a complicated and stressful event much more accessible.
Duffy made it such a.pleasureable experience listing and selling my home with their Cusromer Support Team.

I would have liked to see more personalized advice when it came to considering multiple offers. Also, the e-mails that I received had so many repetitive ads attached it was hard to differentiate what news was new and what wasn’t.
Never Again
The appointment cost $150, I was informed. What? What? It was shocking, and I regret not having paid for it. These interactions made me nervous. Although they were kind, I forgot my notes, and hidden fees were already in place. We hadn’t even met yet. I read reviews and discovered that buyers had great reviews, but they were not sellers. I decided to wait and see.
After reading reviews, doing google searches, and finding out more about the fees, I was skeptical. I’m a straight-talking, honest person. I prefer to work with people who are like me. I want to know the exact fees, what you will do and what I will do. I sent them an email with my concerns hoping that they would address them. I didn’t get a direct reply.
After moving elsewhere, they let me know. They called me several times to check if I was available to list. This makes me happy with my decision, as they didn’t seem to know anything I had told them. They were not rude, but I felt like an unknown number.
I needed a realtor to help sell my house while I was out of town. These are the essentials so that you can make your decision. I think they’d be a great choice if you want to sell yourself but have some tools (lockbox, marketing in MLS). Please give them the keys and let them do what they want.
However, I do understand things happen so I still went with it.
Duffy wasn’t the right choice. While I was determined to do it, some issues made me hesitate. Since that’s all I have to share, I will only discuss the parts I dealt with.
Frank was excellent from the very first phone call. He is warm, friendly, and open to business. I like direct. We had made an appointment, but I was busy working, so I couldn’t know the exact time. It was, therefore, tentative.
I was called the day before my first appointment. I was present at the hearing. These were the times that I gave them, along with the range of when they would call me. I tried calling the number, but no one answered. To leave a message or even call, I had to use many single buttons.
It was frustrating. What if buyers did the same? I finally tried to reach out to someone, but they couldn’t come out until the next day. I had previously spoken out about my situation and was told to leave. However, I can accept that sometimes things happen, and I comply with their demands.
I'd be happy to recommend them to other home buyers looking for experts you can trust!
The McCarty Team recently helped me purchase my home. They were very well informed and helped me through each step of the process following the 8-Step Buyer ACTION Timeline. I’d be happy to recommend them to other home buyers looking for experts you can trust!
I decided to hold off and watch.
I was then told that the appointment was $150. What? I was told about the $500 if I decided to go with them, but not told about this fee. It was a surprise, and I wish I had cancelled and not paid it.
I was wary because of these last interactions. They were very kind but my notes were forgotten, and hidden fees had already popped up and we hadn’t even met yet. I started reading reviews and found that most reviews from buyers were amazing but not really sellers. I decided to hold off and watch.
Scammer
Ms. Boring was aggressive and not Mr. Nice Guy Angrily. Ms. Boring began questioning me why I didn’t want to sell my house to investors. Crudely, she asked me what the difference was if an investor purchased my home.
I asked her if she was a Duffy investor in real estate. She said yes. She told me aggressively that she could sell my home for $288,000.00 if I wanted. I interjected and explained my background to her to know who I was talking about.
I told her that I wanted my house to be released immediately from the listing service. Ms. Boring assured me that she would contact me back. Naturally, I didn’t get a callback.
